It's 2 a.m...

So... tired...

And yet, cannot resist KHR's siren song. Sob.

1. As

rikasaurus pointed out last week, Lambo's attack is literally extreme with dinosaurs exploding. I reiterate: Best. Manga. Ever.

Also, Tazaru's face cracks me the hell up. He's just like... >8O. MAYBE IT'S THE SLEEPY TALKING, but I cannot stop giggling at him. >8O!!!!!

2. And then... he falls asleep.

Oh, Lambo. There are no words. And hey, look, the explodey circle thing is back. AND TAZARU IS STILL CHANNELING BASIL HERE, THAT KID IS CONTAGIOUS OR SOMETHING.

3. AHHHH AHHHHHH WHAT THE FUCK!!?!

SWEET MOTHER OF JESUS I'm gonna have nightmares tonight. HOLY SHIIIIT it's like a velociraptor hydra thing and oh my God I can't even look at it. I am not even kidding, I had to scroll to the top of the MH page while I was typing this because that bottom panel augggh whyyyy.

4. Ffffffff, WHAT THE HELL, KIKYO. "My freaky box transformation is a billion dinosaurs, la la la!" I am so thrown here; I was really expecting his transformation to be a) ugly (see: Daisy, Torikabuto), or b) hilarious (see: Bluebell). Or maybe even sort-of-kind-of cool, like Zakuro's. Not... legitimately terrifying. WHERE ARE THE UNICORNS??

But Ryohei is being awesome now, so I'll shut up. (Although, I just have to say one last time--Tazaru's face has NOT CHANGED THE ENTIRE CHAPTER. Seriously. I think it must have gotten stuck.)

5. ...I was all set to be pissed off at the fact that YET AGAIN, Ryohei's weapon is apparently--you might want to sit down for this--BOXING GLOVES!! OMG SO UNEXPECTED. But then, for no reason at all, his shirt went and EXPLODED. And I just forgave everything.

And Garyuu has a jetpack. I'm not tripping, right, that is a jetpack? That kangaroo is flying around with a jetpack, this is a real true fact?

...And Sunny Primo was a champion boxer... priest. Who literally punched someone to death. And then became a priest. And then joined the mafia.

How is it possible for so much awesome to be contained within a single manga, let alone a single chapter?

6. Heh, I called it (well, I think we all did, really)--Ryohei with darker hair and no bandage on his nose. (Actually, possibly this is just the lack of sleep talking again, but is anyone else getting this weird "Gokudera with Yamamoto's hair" vibe? XDDD)

And I don't even care that all the first gen guardians look just like their tenth gen counterparts, honestly. I know some people in the comm have been upset about it (though I haven't checked the reactions this week yet), but I mean, come on. It's a friggin' Shounen Jump series for god's sake. Is it really that unexpected? If people want different-looking guardians so badly, there are still eight other generations to choose from. :P

Besides, the important thing that shouldn't be overlooked is now that we've finally seen all seven, we can totally have a color spread of Primo and his bitches. EH? EH? I FOR ONE AM LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.

...lol, and I was so busy ranting about Sunny the First that I almost forgot the most important thing of all--RYOHEI PUNCHED KIKYO IN THE FACE. I WANT TO ZOOM IN ON THAT FRAME, PRINT IT OUT, AND HANG IT UP ON MY WALL. |D

7. --Never mind. I WANT THIS ONE INSTEAD.

I've never seen anything so beautiful. *_* Again and again! And again and again and again!

8. Colonnello... ;_; BAWWW RYOHEI WAS THINKING OF YOU WHEN HE THREW HIS SUPER SPARKLY PUNCH.

AND BAWWWW, KYOKO HE WAS THINKING OF YOU WHEN HE PUNCHED ALL OF THOSE INCREDIBLY TRAUMATIZING RAPTOR HEADS. Man, Gokudera kicking ass because he wants to protect Tsuna, Lambo kicking ass because he wants to see Maman, Ryohei kicking ass because he wants to protect Kyoko... Amano's really been pushing the whole shounen "FIGHT TO PROTECT YOUR PRECIOUS PEOPLE" thing lately.

9. Basil, do not even try to pretend you can actually do anything in this situation. Seriously. It's sweet and all, but that dolphin would be so maimed so fast...

10. Heeeeeeeeey, look who it is! Someone spotted a bunch of velociraptor heads mingling and crowding and decided that wasn't kosher, huh? |D GOOD TO SEE Y--

AHH WAIT WHAT?!! DISMAY! DISMAYYYYYY.

Okay, that has to just be a misleading panel, right? Something else is going on that just isn't clear yet, that's all. WE CAN'T SEE WHAT ACTUALLY CAUSED THE ARMBAND TO GO SOARING OFF IN A SHOWER OF BLOOD; I'M ONTO YOUR GAMES, AMANO. But it's really not her usual style to end on this kind of cliffhanger at all. I'm not used to this. :/ IS THIS THE PART WHERE WE HAVE TO WAIT A WEEK TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENS NOW, cuz... not cool. :(

Sob I'm gonna go pass out now.

Hibari's line art was really good in that panel, seriously. ^^v And that is all I have to say.

I agree; he's always attractive, but he was looking particularly good in this chapter. And I say this as someone who doesn't often fangirl him, even.

This is Ryohei-sempai's chapter, indeed.
Recently Amano-sensei has been giving shining moments to neglected characters, which is awesome XD (although some of us would say that those moments are too short)
And recent chapters also confirms that Byakuran likes Disney animations and Spielberg adventure movies. (Could be another reason for Shouichi's betrayal)
As for Hibari, I'm strangely not worried... probably because it's Hibari.

Absolutely. I'm only sad it was such a short three minutes.

I know, it's so great to see characters like Lambo and Ryohei get their due, even if I have a sneaking suspicion it was only because Amano had to show the last two first-gen guardians. I'm hoping this is the start of a trend, because they really deserve more screentime than they usually get.

LOL, there's nothing wrong with Spielberg and Disney, though. XD And yeah, I really can't bring myself to be all that concerned about Hibari's fate just yet--those last few panels really were suspicious. HMM.

PRIMO + PRIMO GUARDIANS COLOUR SPREAD FTW~~!!!!!

I would buy that.

Hiba and Ryohei's understanding of each other amuses me and makes me squee as I'm sure was intended by Amano, but the rest was just so hilarious. Boxer-priest! BOXER PRIEST.

skefjdkhguikhgrjgkhre

I WANT ONE SO BAAAAAD. And besides, we need a good color reference for fanart/cosplay. THE MYSTERY OF WHAT COLOR HAIR STORMY PRIMO REALLY HAS MUST BE SOLVED.

MAFIA BOXER PRIEST. Even better. And I have to admit, the R18 stuff in this chapter flew over my head for the most part, but I can sorta see why people are squeeing. It was kind of cute. XD

As a huge, huge, HUGE proponent of Hibari/Ryohei, I was so happy. The second to last page is now one of my favorites in the entire series. XDDD

I have so much love for Sunny Primo, the boxer-turned-murderer-turned-priest-turned-mafioso.

Being a non-shipper of R18 (not because I'm against it, just because it totally never occurred to me XD), I initially just read that scene as Hibari coming to the rescue of a fellow guardian YET AGAIN and justifying it in terms of "Don't fuck with Namimori :|" YET AGAIN (Hibari, kiddo, it's not just a river in Egypt), but now that everyone keeps mentioning it, I'm starting to see it just a little too. XD

Mafia boxer priest. IT'S OFFICIAL: every single first-gen guardian is made of total win.

Ha ha. Even though we know that Hibari didn't interfere in order to avoid a fuss with Ryohei later, I like to think that there's more, that he respects his fellow guardians' will to battle for themselves. I also am secretly hoping that he's acknowledged Ryohei's strength (in his own way) and that he was waiting to see Ryohei at his strongest, not unlike how he watched Tsuna during the Vongola Ring arc.

Well, they definitely had that mutual fighters' respect for one another (even if it totally wasn't overt on Hibari's part) thing going on ten years later, so maybe this chapter was part of their baby steps.

I THOUGHT SUNNY THE FIRST LOOKED LIKE YAMA. SERIOUSLY. More so the Ryohei . . but yes, I too got the Gokudera with Yama's hair vibe. xD

DO NOT FEAR. HIBARI IS OKAY. HE IS JUST GOING TO BE ROYALLY PISSED OFF THAT KIKYOU DEFILED THE MIGHT NAMIMORI ARMBAND. That is where Hibari draws all his strength from anyway. But now that his anger cannot be contain I SENSE HANDCUFFS IN KIKYOU'S FUTURE.

His eyes are a little more heavily-lidded than Yama's, but yeah, there's definitely a resemblance. It's gotta be the hair. Even if his face looks like Ryohei's (though with a much more Gokudera-ish expression), with that haircut my mind immediately goes to Yamamoto places. VERY WEIRD.

I HOPE SO. HE IS HIBARI, AFTER ALL, and like you said, if anything, the loss of the armband is likely just to make him even more pissed-off and therefore deadly. Well, I won't shed any tears for Kikyo if bitch-cuffing turns out to be his fate. (Although if it turns out that Hibari does defy the odds and actually lose, I'm excited to see which character Amano will pull out of the woodworking to rescue him.)

True .. but I was just glancing and I laughed. Hard. I think it might be the chin. Or something. IT IS WEIRD. I wonder if Rainy the first will look like Ryohei then! . .. have we seen rainy first yet!? o no;; -can' t remember-

LOOL. I would not mind seeing the bitch-cuffing either. The fucking hydra - raptor - nessie shit was scary. But I was still lawling the whole time. (Probably not Dino. Daisy stabbed him in the stomach. ; A ; I WOULD WANNA SEE YAMA WITH SQUALO BUST SOME AWESOME RAIN GUARDIAN SHIT. Would be amazing. Plus I am waiting to see if Squalo is OKAY. XANXUS WILL BE SO DISAPPOINTED.)

Rainy was actually the first guardian we saw, way back when Yama fought--excuse me, owned--Genkishi. Actually, looking at that page reminds me of why I totally don't see any Yama resemblance in Sunny's actual face. Yamamoto has pretty distinctive eyes. I agree about the pointy chin, though.

OMG YES. Perfect opportunity for Yamamoto and NOT-DEAD!SQUALO to make their grand re-entrance on the scene. If anyone ends up having to rescue the all-mighty Hibari, I want it to be Yama. The fallout would be epic. XD

OH YEAH. THAT GUY. Lol. No wonder I forgot. He was not very epic looking. ALTHOUGH YAMA -- MMMM. orz. He does, thinking about it now. xD Epically pointy chin.

I KNOW. It would make my life completely amazing. 1833 AND 8018, all in the same 2 chapters?! FFF. Life = made. Oh god . . Hibari would be pissed and probably hit Yama, who would laugh and then be followed up by some conversation to make us all squee with the yaoi innuendo. = w = Must I say again: Life would be made.

As a ginormous Ryohei ~~fag~~ fan, this chapter made me happy on so many levels sdlkjgavd;slf

...And Sunny Primo was a champion boxer... priest. Who literally punched someone to death

I lol'd HARD at this for some reason. Being punched to death. That's a heck of a way to go lmao.

I guess I'm over the whole 'predecessor looking like the successor' thing now. PRIMO SUN IS AWESOME. AND I SECOND THAT COLOR SPREAD!

It was so, so great to see him finally get to do some cool guardian stuff again. :D

Lol, yeah. Didn't Houdini die the same way? It's like simultaneously "..."-inducing and just a little badass. XD

BRING ON COLOR PRIMO AND HIS RAINBOW OF GUARDIANS. They're all so awesome.

"My freaky box transformation is a billion dinosaurs, la la la!"
LOL MY FREAKY BOX TRANSFORMATION adhdgaldh reminds me of show and tell

RYOHEI'S SHIRT EXPLOSION IS MORE EXTREME THAN THE BILLION DINOSAURS EXPLODING

is anyone else getting this weird "Gokudera with Yamamoto's hair" vibe?
No, I was getting a "first gen sun IS Yamamoto vibe"...but I did think that it was a meaner looking Yamamoto so MAYBE XD

...And Sunny Primo was a champion boxer... priest. Who literally punched someone to death. And then became a priest. And then joined the mafia.
...these words...should never go together...but they should...khsdagalk /dies

WAHHHH I was so ;w; when it showed Colonello.
I cheered when Kiyoko was all lol you can't get me -- *PWNED IN THE FACE* aldsfjdsglh THAT PANEL ALKSSAKHF THAT PANELLL 8DDD THIS CHAPTER MADE ME SO 8DDDD

...and then it gets even more epic when you get a panel of Kiyoko's face being punched in many positions simultaneously omg

Haha /pats Basil

OMG HIBARI *w*
...does this mean we might get shirtless and bloody Hibari

OMFG what. XD Most terrifying show and tell everrrr.

IT TOTALLY IS. THAT FREAKING MADE THE CHAPTER FOR ME.

His eyes are definitely more Gokuderaish than Yamaish IMO. If you swapped out his hair, that could totally be Gokudera. SUNNY PRIMO IS LIKE THEIR LOVECHILD OR SOMETHING. WHO WENT BACK IN TIME. SOMEHOW.

His life was pretty damn epic. EVEN FOR REBORN.

Every time the manga reminds us of a character who died, I get a little ;_; too. Even though they're gonna change this future and all, because even if their timeline is restored, there's nothing they can do to bring back the people who died in this one. COLONNELLO BAWWWW.

KIKYO GETTING PUNCHED WAS THE MOST AMAZING THING I'VE SEEN>

Never change, Basil. Never change.

Whether we do or not, one thing's for sure--next chapter is certain to feature a very pissed Hibari. OH MY GOD KIKYO RUN.

WHAT WHAT CLIFFHANGERS WHAT WHAT THIS IS NOT LIKE YOU AMANO

TRAUMATIZING VELOCIRAPTOR HEADSSSSS

I KNOOOOOOW. Normally the chapter would have either ended right after Hibari showed up, or after we found out what happened. She just felt like fucking with us this chapter, idk.

Those heads really freaked me out, seriously. I kinda involuntarily shudder just thinking about them. EUUUGH.

_{See this icon? This is how it went down:

Kikyou: Naw naw naw naw naw you can't hit -
Ryohei: FALCOOOONNNNNNNNN PUUUUUUNNNNNCHHHHHHH!}

AND IT WAS GOOD! <3 Ryohei is so awesome! All of the other Vongola seemed to be thinking of their mates when fighting - but Ryohei thinks about his family! That's the way to go, Ryohei!

Also also - omggggg Sunny the first! You - you - //swoon
He looks so much like Yamamoto it's uncanny! It's like... Yamamoto, but the EXTREEEEEEEEEME version, of course!!

Also, Hibari not-so-secretly standing up for Ryohei and helping him out is cool. -thumbs up-

There is no one in the world Ryohei can't own with a punch. |D

Ooh, I hadn't even thought about that, but you're right. It kind of adds an additional level of 'awww', because Kyoko isn't just Ryohei's boss or his friend, she's his baby sis. He's been protecting her his whole life. Yay family love. <3

YAMAMOTO WITH A SURLY GOKUDERA FACE. I still say his face totally looks like Gokudera's. BUT THAT HAIR, LOL. You know, for all that the first gen guardians have been clones of their 10th gen counterparts, Sunny does look a lot more like Yama and Dera than Ryohei. XD

For someone who hates crowding so much, Hibari sure does come to the rescue a hell of a lot. I think he's got more rescues under his belt than any other character.

_{He should become a priest too.}

Yeah, it's kind of nice to have some family love in the manga, because none of them actually have siblings, really. I mean, Gokudera has Bianchi, but he seems to be generally unconcerned with her...

I KNOWWW HE DOES LOOK LIKE GOKUDERA. Well, Gokudera's face anyway. So happy for that black hair ~ maybe he had black hair because the first guardians seemed to be a lot more traditional japanese?

Yeah, he really does... he's a total dick, but he always seems to know when he needs to step in and help.
